Event Overview
President Trump ran for office promising mass deportations, vowing to make America safer by removing criminal immigrants. But enforcement has gone far beyond border crossers or criminals. Legal residents, visa holders, tourists, and even visa applicants have been detained. Humanitarian protections like TPS and Parole have been revoked, putting hundreds of thousands at risk of being deported back to home countries they fled for their lives. Hundreds have been secretly transferred to third countries like El Salvador and Panama—what experts call illegal “renditions,” sparking legal battles.
Meanwhile, immigrants are being forced to “register,” the IRS is pressured to expose the undocumented, and green cards are revoked over political views. Even social media is now scrutinized in naturalization cases.
Our legal experts will break down these sweeping changes and explain your rights.
